The Public-Sector AI Readiness Knowledge Bundle helps government organizations prepare to adopt artificial intelligence responsibly, transparently, and operationally.

It organizes the policies, risks, governance practices, training requirements, procurement considerations, and use cases that an agency should address before deploying AI tools.

• AI Governance
• AI Risk Assessment
• Approved AI Use Cases
• AI Procurement
• Staff AI Training
• Public Records and AI
• Vendor Requirements

Before adopting AI, an agency should be able to answer:

• What problem is the AI intended to solve?
• Who is accountable for the tool and its outputs?
• What data may or may not be used?
• What risks could affect residents, employees, or public trust?
• How will staff validate AI-generated content?
• What records must be retained?
• What procurement requirements apply?
• How will the agency measure success?
